According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne the Cavs are interested in Melo, but not if it requires giving up Kevin Love.
Knicks president Phil Jackson seems keen to move Anthony, but wants to get value for him which would mean potentially getting Love back in return.
The Celtics and Clippers have also come up as potential suitors for Anthony, but with a no-trade clause in tow Melo has the last say.
"That's more about what I care about, my family," Anthony told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News . "My son being comfortable in New York at an age now where he's really getting an opportunity to understand being in New York and having a home there and having friends there.
"My wife working there and having opportunities there. … I think about that more so than my decision for my career," Melo said. "At the end of the day, it will come down to my decision. But I think more about my decision and what they're going to have to go through if anything would happen."
The trade deadline is Feb. 24th (AEDT), and talks are sure to continue right up until the final hour.
